fix(wiki): protect math in cross-refs; drop no-op DB call; fix mark order

- R-9 (MED): _inject_cross_refs now protects LaTeX math spans ($…$, $$…$$,
  \(…\), \[…\]) like inline code, so a concept name inside a formula is no longer
  rewritten to a [[slug]] link and corrupting the LaTeX. Regression test added.
- C-13 (LOW): mark ungrounded claims on the raw body BEFORE injecting cross-refs
  (render then inject), so a concept name inside a claim cannot stop the ⚠ regex
  from matching.
- C-12 (LOW): _try_embed_formulas is now a true no-op — it previously issued a
  per-concept information_schema round-trip that did nothing.
